Miss Emma Stilt is a portrait on a 4 by 5 inch glass negative, one of the many studio plates the National Photo Company produced in the early 1920s. The title and date of September 29, 1922, come from information the company wrote on the negative or its sleeve, and the record notes that this data has not been independently verified. The National Photo Company was a Washington, D.C., commercial studio that made large numbers of portraits and views, and its glass plates were later donated to the Library of Congress. Visitors should expect streaks and blemishes on this plate, which the record attributes to natural deterioration of the original coatings.
